In the meantime the membeis who have had the distinction of being chosen visiting committees to the various state Institutions will stall oat on their junketing tiip and ilnd over.v thing proP - P lied for making them happy. Tlio cullmiiy depailment nt the vatimis hospitals and other public Institutions is by no means neglected by those In charge , and the visiting biethicn may boassined ot a full laidcr and a choiceeulslne. Of coui e under such cir cumstances ho\v can they help lindlng oveiy- thing lovely and In most admirable older.

They have alieady been appointed , and In all piobabllity weie bctoio Ids elec tion. In the senate Lcut ! naiit Governor Hull has alicady announced his committees , and the selections occasion a good deal of unfa vorable criticism , There seems to have been nn Intention on the part of Hie piesldcnt lo 11 = 0 the committees to some extent lo tevvatd favoiites and pay elf some political grudges. Some of the oldest and strongest members of the senate were given no chaiimanshlps , or If any , those ot Intetior committees that amounted lo little. The senate so far hasn't loomed up Into public favor very high , it has developed a most nlaiming tendency to nepotism which Is do-crvlng ot suvcie rebuke. II chose lor secictary of tlio senate , a position of gieat impedance and icsponsibilily , the son of one of the scnatois , and no one supposes that he ever would have been elected had his father not been a member of the electing bodj. Then the MMiute decided to elect seven pages and for live of the seven It chose ons or grandsons of Its own members , some of the > e little chaps hardly yet out ol bliis and lucl.-.M- _ , lucl..MAlIqlLtIlRSQ hoya draw 63 a dnyiulnry for the entlio session , and so1 * llvosons or grandsons of the men who chose them are given positions which many a poor boy with a widowed mother to support would gladly have obtained if ho could. Witli so many poor lads suffei ing for the ncccssaiics of life and begging for woik , itisnocicdit to a senator to put his well-fed dilution in these places which Iho stale pajs for , and keep the staiving bojs out. Both blanches of the legislature so far have Fhovvn little disposition to get alter the railroads and other corporation ? , though they will not get their guns fuhiy unlimbered - ed till later in the session. Thcio aio some members in each house who wouldn't have to linn away horn their own looking-glass to sec a demagogue. They , will howl the loud est about the acgiessious of railroads and feel the meanest if they aie forgotten when the passes aie dlstiibutod. They may make some tumble for the comnanios , but it is doubtful , for them Is a pietty level headed man In the governors chair. Itcptpsoiitntivo Weaver , ot llardin county , who was defeated for thespeakeishlp by the snow blockade , Is vciy popular wlili the members , and bus been elected speaker pie lorn for the session. Ho will till the speak er's clmlrwlionover Mr. Head is absent. Senator Whiting , of Monona county , who was the late democratic candidate for gov- ctnor , has dropped into complete ob-cuiity in tlio senate. Ho hasn't the lirst qualilication for leadership , and so doesn't try to lead , but sits as quiet as a duck on a log , only speaking when his name is called for the ayes and noes. Senator Knight of Diibuquo will probably bo the leader of the dcmoeials in the senate. He is a rattling talker , a line lawjer , being slate.solicitor for the Illinois Central , and a well poised , well hied man. On the tepubllcan side Woolson of Henry , Siitlon of Maishall , and Hiilchlnaon of Wapello , are the ,111011 whose counsels and wonls will go I'aithost In diiectlng afl'uhs.

These charges would be malei- lally icdiiced , and HIP giain producing stales would be given that cheap ti.uislt which has now become necessary lo enable them to successfully place their surplus products in the foielgn market. The committee formulates Its conclusions as lollpvvs ; Tim public luteic&l demands regulation of Hie business ol tiansuoitatlon , because in HIP absence of such leirulation Iho canicr Is actually the sole and final aihltur upon all disputed questions that ailse bc- Iwcen Hie snipper and earlier as to whether rates aio icusunablu or an unjust dlsciim- innllon lias been piactlccd. H is the duty of- congress to undertake the legulatlon ot the business of transportation , because ol ad mitted abuses In its management and of acknowledged discriminations between per sons and places in its practical opera tions. Xiilional legislation is necessary to icmeily tlio evils complained ot , because' Hie operations of the tianspmtiilion svste.ni are I'm the most pait beyond the juilsdiclliui o. ' tlio states , and until congress aclH , not subject lo any governmental eontiol In the public Inteiest , and because the business of transpoitatlon Is p-sontlnllly of a nature that requires a uniloim system and method of regulation , which the national authority can alone pic'eiibe. The failure ofcongicss to act acts as an oxenso lor the attempts made by the railroads to regulate the comiueicy oC the country in their own way and Hi thojf own intcicsts by whatever combinations ana methods th"V aie able to put Into npciulion.
